PARTNER CORNER
Bringing the Spirit of the Holiday Season to the Redwood Shores Community
 
Every December, the Redwood Shores Community Association (RSCA) and Redwood City Public Library host Santa at the Redwood Shores Branch Library. Last year, close to 600 people were in attendance and had the opportunity to visit and take a pictures with Santa.  The Redwood Shores Branch Library has been partnering with the RSCA for the past six years to bring the community together for this fun-filled, festive community event.
 
Redwood Shores Community Association (RSCA) is "THE advocate on issues that affect the quality of life in the Shores." The mission of the Association is to represent the interests of homeowners, of renters and other residents, and of businesses in Redwood Shores. RSCA is an inclusive organization that recognizes and celebrates the diversity of our community. RSCA produces The Pilot, a monthly publication that circulates to 6,000 Redwood Shores households and businesses.  
 
The Redwood Shores Branch Library and RSCA enjoy a fruitful partnership in serving the residents of Redwood Shores. We hope to see you at one of the Santa visits to RCPL in December 2017.
